Big Train Blended Ice Coffee Drink Review

Big Train Coffee (my son would not leave the shiny packaging alone lol)

I cannot live without coffee. Seriously I am a beast if I do not have a few cups everyday. But here in California it can be so hot even early in the morning making a hot cup of coffee is out of the question. Starbucks is way to expensive and the one near me I swear they water the drinks! I complain but no one seems to care. Their blended coffee drinks taste like ice more than coffee!

Adding the powder to my ice and cold coffee.

I recently had the opportunity to try a few of the Big Train Blended Ice Coffee drinks and oh my they are good! I love iced and blended coffee for the summer mornings and for after dinner. They cool you off and taste delicious! Their mixes were great! You can make them cold with ice or hot for the winter. They can be mixed with milk or coffee too. I love having options! I tried the Caramel Latte, Java Chip ( my favorite one!) Coffee and Kona Mocha. I really enjoyed the great flavor and the chocolate pieces in the Java Chip were really good. I love that Big Train is a California company and trains are a huge hit in our house so it was a perfect fit.

Making your own coffee drinks at home is definitely one of the great ways you can be frugal and still indulge! Have you tried or wanting to try the new McDonalds Strawberry Lemonade drink? Well I have a great recipe from Big Train to make your own Strawberry Lemonade drinks at home. Here is the recipe from their blog. You can be serving these all summer for you and your kids!

I like smaller coffee shops where you can try new stuff and feel like your barista is your friend! Ask your local coffee shop to start carrying Big Train Coffee and Big Train Chai products!

You can follow Big Train on twitter and be a fan on facebook.You can buy Big Train Coffee online and mix it at home like I did. Its so great to be able to add as much or as little of ice, milk, and coffee to your drink without having to ask someone to do it for you!
